November 03, 2023
Document Subject
• Revised op time for op code 20DA06R1 – Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 23-01076H-1 published

Date
11/03/2023

TSB 23-01-076H-1 supersedes TSB 23-01-076H with updated labor time for operation
code 20DA06R1.
Campaign Description
Some Santa Fe (CM) vehicles may have an engine that potentially leaks oil from the front cylinder bank’s valve
cover onto the alternator. Oil could damage the alternator resulting in illumination of the charging system
warning lamp and disablement of the charging system. If the vehicle is continually driven without recharging the
battery, the engine will eventually shut off, increasing the risk of a crash. This bulletin outlines the procedures to
inspect for T-joint leakage and install an oil protector to address this issue. The service procedure contained in
TSB 23-01-076H-1 (or latest version) is summarized below:
1. If the alternator voltage is less than 14.0V and there is evidence of oil leak at the T-joint, replace the
alternator, valve cover gasket, and install the oil protector.
2. If the alternator voltage is greater than 14.0V and there is evidence of oil leak at the T-joint, replace the
valve cover gasket and install the oil protector. Do not replace the alternator.
3. If the alternator voltage is greater than 14.0V and there is no evidence of oil leak at the T-joint, install the
oil protector. Do not replace the valve cover gasket or the alternator.
